Halibut or Mahi Mahi Baked in Fresh Green Salsa

"I found this in Sunset magazine and wanted to keep it around it was delicious. Recipe calls for poblano chilies but they weren't avail in the store so Jalapenos did the trick. I also tried it with Mahi Mahi fish and it turned out excellent. Recipe can be halved."

directions

  • Preheat oven to 375. In a large frying pan, melt butter over high heat. Stir in flour, remove from heat, and mix to form a smooth paste.
  • Scrape flour paste into a blender. Add tomatillos, onion, chilies, chopped cilantro, chicken broth, and 1/2 cup sour cream. Puree in blender. Pour green sauce back into frying pan; add salt and lime juice to taste and bring to a boil.
  • Rinse fish, pat dry with paper towels, cut into 6 equal pieces, and season with salt. Set pieces slightly apart in an 8 by 12 in baking dish.
  • Pour evenly over fish.
  • Bake fish until it flakes but still looks moist in the center of the thickest part (cut to test), 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Serve up fish and spoon sauce over portions. Top off with small spoonfuls of remaining sour cream, and sprinkle with cilantro leaves.

  1. I made this dish for my family. Besides being super easy to prepare, it was delicious. I served rice and steamed broccoli on the side. I substituted extra virign olive oil for the butter. I used a poblano pepper, which was a bit mild. Next time, I will experiment with a spicier pepper. This is definitely a keeper!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live in Orange County, CA. I grew up here and the roots haven't stopped growing. Our household is pretty simple, a husband, a teenager and a cat. I really enjoy cooking and trying new recipes. I grew up on good old American comfort food and my husband grew up on good old mexican staples such as tortillas and beans. Both of which I've never mastered making from scratch; although I'm getting close on the refried beans. We enjoy just hanging out around home as much as we enjoy traveling all over.</p>
